Georgian England saw London quickly growing into one of the largest cities in Europe. As the city grew, coffee houses equally gained importance in society. For a mere penny, customers could purchase a cup of coffee and gain admission to these new spaces where they could learn the news of the day and perhaps meet other local residents and discuss mutual concerns.

I came out of the #RoyalOntarioMuseum last Saturday to find this crew playing a bright set on the sidewalk outside.
They are the #TrashPandaBrass and they’re great!

I then bought their EP (Opposable Thumbs) and have listened to it … many times.
